Bit of a foregone conclusion at this point.

Also, bonus fantasy championship match!

You know, I'm not even sure who owns RAAAAMPAAAGGEEE. Now would be a good time to identify yourself.

Only 39 competitors this week. aussie_picks has beaten the fight right out of everyone.
Two people (incorrectly, I might add) picked Arizona State (+5.5) against our sturdy Golden Bears. These two people are Twist Sucks and Mister Jinx, and they deserve your scorn.
Two people also took Tulsa (+3) against Houston, three took UCLA (+14) against USC - that didn't work out so well; four took Texas Tech (+13) against Baylor, and only four took Notre Dame (+7) against the Furd. I mean, I dislike Notre Dame as much as anyone, but I don't understand anyone who picks the Furd over them. (Oh wait, I took them too. Whoops.)
Five people took Louisiana-Lafayette (+13.5) against Arizona, six took Iowa (+9.5) against Nebraska, seven took Ohio State (+7.5) against Michigan, and seven took Northwestern (+6.5) against Michigan State.

Third place matchup!

Big BAM and the Sanchize demonstrated their ability to earn third place by failing just short of the championship game. Thanks be to Case Keenum for that, and atoms will crush you checking out by not even having an active QB. Worth noting: the QB he did have on his bench wouldn't have swung the matchup anyway.

Fifth place matchup!

Meanwhile, Geno Smith and I weren't able to come in fifth even with Colin Klein not actually playing last week. Somewhere, Montee Ball is crying in shame.

Seventh place matchup!

Team America picked a good time to go off on the back of Matt Barkley...actually, it might have been a good idea for him to go off earlier. You know, so he didn't end up in seventh place.

Ninth place matchup!

Suck It Starkey managed to measure of salvation by reaching the highest point total for the week. But again, this might have been helpful earlier.

Not last place matchup!

And Loser's Lurgy just kept on losing right into last place. Lurging right along.

I'm pretty sure RAAAMMPAAAAAGGEEEE is AERose

Congrats, man. I blame the Juju, who clearly conspired against me. I picked up Central Michigan’s excellent QB who would have torched the Akron defense (his completely unproven backup started and tallied up 300+ yards and 7TDs). Instead of allowing me to cruise to victory, CBS failed to disclose his shoulder injury until 5 minutes before kickoff, or 60+ hours after the rosters were locked. Then Juju went and sprained John White’s ankle just before the Utah O-line started opening up running room.

I’LL GET YOU NEXT YEAR, JUJU!

Who has two thumbs and just won him a fantasy football league? this guy

I actually didn’t realize the playoffs were still going on until yf’s post last week so I couldn’t even set a lineup for this week. (Not that it would have been that different—Burkhead in for Gray and maybe a walk-on receiver.) To be fair RGIII also missed half the Texas Tech game so you weren’t the only one bitten by the injury bug.

If I were being magnanimous I’d call it a split championship since we both ended with the same record and 1-1 against eachother, but FUCK THAT I won! Somebody cue up Palms of Victory!
